Before departing for Earth, Fangzheng had already discussed with Milune about the modification of Xenomorphs and had a general idea.
In the "Alien" series, Xenomorphs had their own system. The Xenomorph Queen was responsible for laying eggs, and the eggs would give birth to facehuggers. The facehuggers would then attack the host and give birth to Xenomorphs. Then, Xenomorphs would expand their population.
But in Milune's view, this ecological cycle of Xenomorphs was primitive and inefficient. Although Xenomorphs could absorb the excellent genes of their hosts to improve themselves, this was completely different from the Zerg. The Zerg actively collected and absorbed excellent genes. Xenomorphs, on the other hand, absorbed them passively. It could be said that it was a bit like trying their luck. Xenomorphs would be like their hosts. Although Xenomorphs had a high reproductive rate, their gene inheritance was not preserved. This method may be effective in the early stages of a race to disperse risks and find the best path of evolution and development by swallowing the host's excellent genes to modify themselves. But if these excellent genes could not be integrated, it would be meaningless.
It was like a computer that had finally installed a lot of software and optimized it, but had to reinstall it again after changing to a new computer. Milune didn't even bother to look at this so-called gene-swallowing efficiency.
So in the end, Fangzheng and Milune decided to optimize the genes of Xenomorphs, eliminating useless things such as facehuggers and Xenomorph Queen, and only needed the normal body of Xenomorphs.
Fangzheng's requirement for Xenomorphs was to lurk, assassinate, and then explode. It was like a virus that would lurk in the body of an ordinary person without any abnormalities at first, then quietly spread and spread, and then burst into a fatal plague, completely wiping out everything. Therefore, the Xenomorphs adjusted by Milune and Milune would also undergo great changes.
First of all, the form of Xenomorphs was fixed as a combat Xenomorph, which was the matured black body form in "Xenomorph vs. Predator". It would no longer change because of the host, which was also a sign that Xenomorphs had completely integrated into the swarm. Secondly, the four back tubes on the back of Xenomorphs were also modified to be similar to the spikes of Hydralisks. This allowed Xenomorphs to not only hunt at close range, but also launch sneak attacks from a distance like Hydralisks.
The most terrible thing about Xenomorphs is their ability to reproduce, and Milune is even more ruthless in this regard. Originally, the Xenomorph's reproduction method was that the Xenomorph's eggs needed to integrate with the host's genes and be optimized. However, after the Zerg's modification, the Xenomorph lost this ability, so the original facehugger also lost its purpose. On the contrary, the Xenomorphs that were modified by the swarm had a terrifying reproductive ability. When they attacked, they would inject a genetic virus into the enemy's body. As long as the enemy was scratched, bitten, or stabbed by the Xenomorphs, the virus would be injected.
After that, these viruses that had been modified by the bugs would start to crazily devour the nutrients of the host's body, and they would not differentiate between life and death. This also meant that once one was injured by the aberrations, regardless of whether they were dead or alive, they would become the host of the aberrations and create new aberrations.
To be honest, when Fangzheng first heard Milune's idea, he felt a chill run down his spine. If Xenomorph had such an ability, then there would be no need to make a movie series. Humans and the Predators would have died long ago!
From this, it was no wonder the Zerg could become the overlord of the universe, while the Xenomorphs could only play cameo roles in movies … It was all fate.
"…!!"
Just as Fangzheng was feeling bored and letting himself go, the dark hall suddenly lit up. Streams of electric currents appeared from the chains and struck the aberration queen's body. Seeing this, Fangzheng immediately focused and looked forward.
"Roar …!!"
Right now, the Aberration Queen was howling furiously. Her genes had already been completely modified by Lulana, and she had already lost her original strength. Her huge body began to undulate. Under the stimulation of the electric currents, a new life form began to take shape in her body.
"— —! — —!! "
Feeling the power in her body disappearing, the Xenomorph Queen began to shake her body frantically, trying to break free from the restraints, but the chains used by the Predators to restrain her were naturally not that easy to break free from. Soon, accompanied by a mournful wail, the Xenomorph Queen in front of Fangzheng struggled for a while, then fell limply to the ground, no longer moving. Then, the back of her huge abdomen, which was used to lay eggs, burst open with a "pop". Then, Fangzheng saw a few larvae jump out of it "happily" and circle around the Xenomorph Queen's corpse.
"Only three?"
Looking at the larvae in front of him, Fangzheng frowned, then looked at Luna beside him.
"The strength of this experimental body is too weak to raise more larvae."
That made sense. The Xenomorph Queen had not eaten for more than a hundred years. She had been frozen here all this time, and she was forced to give birth just now. Her stomach was probably already empty.
"Let's start incubating."
At the thought of this, Fangzheng did not say anything else. He just shrugged. With the help of psionic energy, he saw the three Predators who came to take the "exam" leave the mothership and come to this ice field. If everything went as expected, these Predators would start to show off their skills.
It was just as well that he could use them to test the strength of the Xenomorphs.
People are brave because they are ignorant.
While Fangzheng was incubating the larvae, the expedition team sponsored by Weyland Industries to dig up the "mysteries of human history" had also arrived inside the pyramid. If they knew that there were terrible monsters under the pyramid planning to attack them, or that there were invisible aliens behind them planning to take their heads as trophies, they would probably feel more nervous.
But unfortunately, they knew nothing about it.
"Nimf, close the door."
Seeing the group of explorers walking towards the hall, Fangzheng raised his eyebrows, then immediately gave an order to Nimf. In the movie, everyone entered this hall and got the weapons of the Predators before triggering the whole trial. But what Fangzheng wanted to test now was the strength gap between his Xenomorphs and the Predators. An unarmed Predator was not a good test subject, so of course he would not let these guys take away the weapons of the Predators.
"Yes, Master."
Hearing Fangzheng's order, Nimf, who was staying in the spaceship, immediately reached out and gently clicked on the keyboard in front of her.
"Rumble …!"
"What's wrong? What's going on? "
Feeling the sudden shaking and noise, the explorers were also taken aback, and then they saw the stone door of the hall in front of them falling quickly!
"Not good, let's go in!"
The woman in the lead hurriedly rushed towards the falling stone door, trying to rush into the hall before the stone door was completely closed. Unfortunately, her speed was still slower than the speed of the stone door closing. When the woman rushed to the stone door, the whole door had been completely closed with a "bang".
"Damn it!"
Looking at the closed stone door in front of her, the woman slammed the wall. The group of scientists next to her, who were still in shock, also came back to their senses and looked around in fear.
"What's wrong? What the hell is going on? "
"That's it for today."
Ignoring the panic of the crowd, the woman in the lead shouted, then pointed to her watch.
"We have to go back to the camp immediately. It's obviously not safe here. If we're trapped here, it'll be very troublesome!"
"This ….."
Hearing the woman's words, everyone showed hesitant expressions. They turned their heads and looked at the old man walking in the middle of the crowd. In the movie, they found the Predator's weapon in this hall, and then began the path of death. But now, these people did not know what was inside, so they were not so resistant to the woman's orders.
"Okay …. Let's go back first …."
Facing the inquiring eyes of the crowd, the old man thought for a moment, then nodded. Obviously, he also felt that this was not very safe. After hearing the old man's answer, the woman breathed a sigh of relief, then took out the radio and began to call the people who stayed in the other room.
"This is Team A, we're going back to the camp. How's your situation? Can you answer? "
"This is Team B! We're locked in here! "
"What?"
Hearing the answer from the radio, everyone was surprised.
"Is anyone hurt?"
"No, but this damn place …. Hurry up and find a way to get us out of here! Wait, there seems to be something …. Damn it, what's this? Be careful! "
Bang! Bang!
"Team B? Team B?!! "
Hearing the screams and gunshots coming from the radio, everyone was also shocked. They hurried to the sacrificial tomb, only to find that it was indeed blocked by a thick stone door that could not be opened at all.
With no other choice, they could only choose to return to the camp first and take out the explosives to blow the stone door open. After making their decision, the group of people left the pyramid in a panic, not noticing that three transparent figures had brushed past them.
As expected.
Fangzheng nodded when he saw this scene through his psionic energy. From the looks of it, it was more important for the three Predators to complete the test. In the movie, these Predators did not kill an old man like Weyland when their weapons were taken away, so now that they did not take away their weapons, the Predators would not bother them.
Soon, under Fangzheng's gaze, the Predators passed through the passage and came to the hall. They easily opened the sealed door, then opened the sarcophagus and took out their weapons.
